GB Claims serves Monroe and Harriman from our office in Suffern, about half an hour away on Route 17 and the Thruway. We represent Monroe homeowners, landlords and business owners against their own insurance companies after fire, water, storm and theft losses.
The Town of Monroe includes the Villages of Monroe and Harriman and borders Kiryas Joel and Woodbury. It has older village homes near the lakes, large subdivisions from the 1980s onward, and a growing number of new builds. Lake-area water damage, roof and tree losses, frozen pipes and fire are the claims we handle most here.
What a public adjuster actually does for you
Your policy is a contract, and proving what you are owed under it is your responsibility, not the insurer’s. That burden falls on a homeowner at the worst possible moment. We take it over: we document the damage, measure and scope the repairs, prepare the estimate, submit the claim, answer the carrier’s questions, and negotiate the settlement. The insurance company’s adjuster works for the insurance company; we work only for you.
Common Monroe property claims
- Frozen and burst pipes in homes with crawl spaces, finished basements and seasonal use.
- Wind, snow-load and ice-dam damage to roofs, followed by water inside the house.
- Trees down on structures after storms, common on wooded lots around Round Lake, Walton Lake and Mombasha Lake.
- Kitchen and electrical fires with smoke and soot throughout the home.
- Sewer and drain backups in finished basements.
- Theft and vandalism, including break-in damage to the structure.
New construction, new problems
Monroe has a lot of newer homes, and newer construction has its own claim issues: builder warranties the carrier points to, open-plan layouts where smoke travels everywhere, and engineered materials that cannot be patched and matched. We document the full extent of the loss and insist the estimate reflects like-kind-and-quality replacement.

What should I do first after a loss?
Make the property safe, stop the source of the damage if you can, photograph everything before anything is moved, and keep receipts for emergency work. Then call us before you give a recorded statement or sign anything.
